Gauge Description:

Has been run as low as 3.2
Optimal has been described as 4.0 to 4.5
Not recommended for mere mortals above 5.5, but your mileage may vary.

The gauge is located at the SR 1620 bridge. Its in a wide slow part of the river, and little changes here make big differences in the steep sections above and below.

On the downstream river left piling is an old USGS gauge that does not readily correspond with the online gauge.

At Peeks Creek road there is an additional spraypainted gauge on the river right bridge footing. Looks like an old Randy Carter gauge.


Minimum/Optimum level correlation between USGS and Peeks Creek gauge: 4.04ft USGS------3/4ft on Peeks Creek.
